Welcome!

Welcome to Caps 'Round the Clock, a blog covering the Washington Capitals and the NHL. In season, I update the Blog after every practice and on game day with Caps news and information, and then provide a recap and analysis after each contest. I also write a periodical Prospect Watch and weekly feature pieces on the state of the Men in Red and other things Capitals. And of course, I will post videos and tidbits from around the League and offer my two cents as the season wears on. In the offseason, I write a Report Card for each player, and will keep you updated on all the news about the Caps through the summer. I'm glad you're here, and hope you come back!

Practice: Feb. 8

The Washington Capitals were on ice Wednesday morning for a practice following their 4-0 win over the Panthers Tuesday.  Some updates from Kettler Capitals Iceplex:

Mike Green skated before practice for the second day in a row as he continues to make his way back from sports hernia surgery late last month.
The only healthy Capitals absent from the skate were Dennis Wideman, Alex Ovechkin, and Brooks Laich, who were all given maintenance days by the Washington coaching staff.  The lines were as such: Johansson-Brouwer, Hendricks-Halpern-Ward, Chimera-Perreault-Semin, and Knuble-Aucoin-Beagle.
Nicklas Backstrom, once again, was nowhere to be seen.  He has skated once since the fifth day of January and is likely eons away from returning, if he does at all this season.

That's all for now.
